CARD- BOARD-MANUFACTURING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 374,848, dated December. 13, 1887.

Application filed March 26, 1887., Serial No. 232,497. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEwIs WILLIAM NoYEs, of East Pepperell, in the county of Middlesex, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Card-Board-Manufacturing Machines and I do hereby declare the same to be describedinthe following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal and vertical section of the principal parts of a machine embodying my invention, the nature of which is defined in the claims hereinafter presented. Fig. 2 is a section, on an enlarged scale, of the brush-receptacle and its brushes, as hereinafter explained.

In Fig. 1 of such drawings, A is a vat for holding paste, it being formed as represented and provided near its bottom and through its outer side with two slots or inducts, a a, opening into a narrow receptacle or chamber, B, arranged against such outerside and furnished in'its outer side with two slots, 1) b, which are directly opposite the slots a a. In the cham- 4 her or receptacle B are three brushes, 0, d, and e, the-middle one having bristles projecting in opposite directions from it toward those of the other two brushes, whose bristles extend toward the median brush. In the upper part of the paste-vat is a pair of feed or draw rollers, O D, which in practice are to have mechanism for revolving them. There is also in the paste-vat at its rear portion, and above that part of it in which the mass, f, of liquid paste is situated, two guide-rollers, E and F. Furthermore, outside of and in front of the vat are two pairs of guide-rollers, G and H and I and K, and in front of them are three beams or rollers, L, M, and N. There is also such abeam or roller, 0, in front of the upper feed-roller. In advance of the middle roller, M, is a take-up beam or roller, P. The roller P rests upon another roller, S, which has mechanism for revolving it, in order for the roller P to take up the card-board. Each journal of the roller P extends into a vertical slot, at, in the frame R.

The vat and the rollers, as above described, are supported in and by a frame, B.

The feed-rollers have their shafts connected of three or more sheets of paper laid in pack and pasted together, the inner sheet or sheets being paper of a coarser quality than that of each of the outer sheets. If, now, we suppose there is wound on each beam L, M, N, and O a continuous strip or roll of paper, and that the sheet from the beam L is led to and under the guide-roller H, thence upward to and over the guide-roller G, thence to and partly around the lower feed-roller, D, and thence to the beam P, and we also suppose that each of the beams M and N is furnished withthe coarser paper, and from such beams M and N such paper is led under and against the guide-rollers I and K, thence through the brush-chamber B and between its brushes, thence through the mass of paste, thence under and partly around the rollers E and F, thence between the feed-rollers and to the 'takeup beam P;

furthermore, if we suppose the sheet of paper from the roller 0 to be led to the upper part of the upper feed-roller and thence between the feed-rollers, also that the said feed-rollers and the beam P are put in revolution in the directions as shown by arrows on them, the two sheets It and S from the rollers M and N will be drawn through the paste and covered on each of their sides therewith, and in passing between the feed-rollers such sheets will be pressed into close contact with each other and with the sheets T and Vof the rollers O and L, and all four of the sheets pasted together will be wound upon the beam P. So, if desirable, but one of the sheets B and S may be runthrough the paste and between and cemented to the sheets T and V, in which case but one of the beams M N and two of the four guiderollers E F and I K need be used.

The brush-chamber and its brushes consti- I elaim-- chamber B, and brushes therein, with the feed 1. The combination of the paste-vat A and or draw rollers O D, guide-rollers F G H I, the chamber Band the brushes thereof, with and the beams L, M, O, and P, such feed or the feedfor draw rollers G D, the guide-rollers draw rollers and the beam P being provided I 5 E F G H I K, and the beams L, M, N, O, and with mechanism for revolving them, and all P, such feed rollers and the beam I being probeing arranged substantially and to operate vided with mechanism for revolving them, in manner and for the purpose as set forth.

and all being arranged substantially and to LEWIS WILLIAM NOYES. operate in manner and for the purpose as set Witnesses: 1 forth. a R. H. EDDY, 2. The combination of the pastevat A, the R. B. TORREY.
